Uber's Lost and Found index this year gives an insight into the lives of its passengers, revealing which possessions are most often mislaid, and which day of the week we're at our most forgetful.
The annual list, out today, reveals the myriad of items left in the back seat or the boot over the past 12 months.
A half-finished burger, an All Blacks jersey and a drone were among the "rarer finds" rattling around the bottom of Uber's annual lost property box.
There were also pool cues, a vacuum cleaner, a bike and even some false teeth.
Phones were officially New Zealand's most forgotten item for the second year in a row – with Saturdays recording the highest number of lost phones across the year.
Keys, backpacks, wallets and and headphones topped the rest of the list for most commonly forgotten items.
Other larger pieces of technology, including a drone, a Go-Pro camera, and a gaming console were also left behind.
Glasses, vapes, passports and water bottles also featured on that list.
While Kiwis were remembering the fallen on ANZAC Day – Saturday, April 25 – by contrast it proved to be the country's most forgetful this year. Maybe due to early starts, dawn services and long weekend catch-ups.
People were also most forgetful during the 11pm hour, followed by 5am and 1am.
Auckland once again took the title of most forgetful city by total lost items, followed by Christchurch and Wellington.
Among the regional towns the rideshare company launched its services in last year, Blenheim stole the crown for most forgetful on a per-trip basis, with roughly one item lost for every 25 rides.
Whangārei and Invercargill rounded out the top three.
How to get your forgotten items back
Open the Uber app and tap Activity on the bottom icon menu.
Select the trip on which you lost the item.
Scroll down to find lost item in the help section, and then contact driver about a lost item.
Enter your phone number to call the driver.
If your driver picks up and confirms that your item has been found, coordinate a mutually convenient time and place to meet for its return to you.
If your driver doesn’t pick up, leave a detailed voicemail describing your item and the best way to contact you.
Remember to be considerate, the driver's schedule will be affected by taking time to return your item to you.
